yes they are interference motors. Mine broke doing about 10 mph in second gear down a grass trail. I bent 1 valve. Lucky from what I have read about.

The are interference motors and they "can" bend valves, but don't always bend them. Often when it breaks is a determining factor. If you were driving when it broke, it probably bent valves. If you were starting the vehicle when it broke, there's a chance that it didn't.
